2239	Patch to accept remote buttons as logical identifiers.	navahogunleg@…	Isaac Richards	"This patch allows MythTV to accept remote buttons (coming from LIRC) as logical identifiers. So in stead of configuring LIRC to map a button to a 'keypress', this patch will make the configured identifier to be correctly interpreted by Myth. ( As discussed in this thread: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/dev/207002#207002 )

Old way:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = TV
repeat = 3
config = X              // this keypress would reach Myth
end

New way:
begin
prog = mythtv
button = TV
repeat = 3
config = remoteTV
end

I wrote it so that if, in lircrc, a single character is found, this will still be interpreted as a keypress (i.e. it's downwards compatible).

(There's a known problem however, when Myth requests user input in an editbox, one hits a remote
button, the text-identifier of that button will be inserted in that edit-box.)

Supplied is also the patch to recognise these in MythControls so one can actually configure remote keypresses.
